MSc Future Manufacturing and Nanoscale Engineering

From the manufacturing of lightweight, sustainable and durable materials, to revolutionising additive manufacturing, nanotechnology is shaping our future. When you’ve completed this specialist Master’s, you’ll have the technical skills and practical experience to design, and manufacture, materials and solutions at the nano and micro scales. Designed and delivered by UCL Mechanical Engineering, this one-year MSc course will get you industry-ready for a career as a manufacturing, materials and design engineer. You’ll put your learning into practice on every module of this course, translating your theoretical studies into concrete practical experience through lab work, design activities or specially designed industry-relevant manufacturing challenges. Working in the world-class engineering facilities at our purpose-built UCL East Campus on Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, you’ll learn how to achieve results in environments designed to replicate industrial settings. You’ll collaborate regularly with external industry partners, some of whom may also supervise your group project. In addition to the demonstrable hands-on experience with a broad range of manufacturing, machine shop, and characterisation techniques, and numerical toolsets necessary to work in nanoscale manufacturing, you’ll develop solid project management and design skills. This will give you an even greater chance of career progression in this rapidly expanding field. You can also shape your studies around your specific interests, with a wide range of optional modules that includes Nature-Inspired Solutions and Sustainability Analysis, allowing you to explore the vital research of safety issues, ethics and life cycle impacts of nano-engineered materials. This programme is for students with a background in chemistry, materials, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering or civil engineering, who are interested in deepening their understanding of materials engineering manufacturing. It will prepare you for leadership positions across a wide range of sectors, from energy and sustainable development, to healthcare and medical innovation.
